I’m a Spirit Junkie!
As such, when Gabby Bernstein comes to town I show up. 🙌🏼
I learned about her many, many years ago, through the OG, Wayne Dyer, who I had seen multiple times, front and center, at Hay House’s conferences decades ago.
I loved how she embodied his teachings, made them her own, healed herself, transformed her life, and became a voice for a new generation of Spirit Junkies, as she calls them (and herself!).
This is the 2nd time I see Gabby live, and this time around, I absolutely loved her down to earth-ness. No flash. No spiritual superiority. Just a super simple message that ANY person can use daily to feel better, trust more, and as Wayne said many times—BE the change you wish to see (and experience) in the world.
Here’s her simple formula, which I’m assuming is in her new book, “Self-Help,” which is now in my Amazon shopping cart. 😃
Assuming there is something that’s been eating away at you for a long bit—or a deep pattern you’ve been trying to finally release:
Ask yourself if you are ready to heal it. If it’s a NO—well just come back here another time and continue reading this when you’re ready to answer YES! In other words, you are ready to stop trying to strong arm this thing.
Give it away for 24 hours. Another not so gentle way to say this is, LET THIS SH!T GO! For me, I imagine giving the pattern, problem, my desire to control, fix, work harder, etc., to the Divine and feeling it leave my body like a cloud into the hands of Spirit, knowing it’s no longer mine to deal with. This is RELEASE. This is TRUST.
Do nothing for 3 days. Now, if you thought letting it go was tough enough, this step can be quite harder for the high—and over-achiever, and the person who may be ignoring the healing needed. You see, if you made it to 24 hours without DOING and CONTROLLING, and simply went about your life—and you felt the PEACE that resulted from this non-attachment, then why not surrender and trust further? This becomes building your spiritual muscle! Gabby gave several examples of how the resolution and an even better outcome or new direction showed up by releasing even further. I have countless examples of this as well, AND IT WORKS, that’s why I get a kick out of my friends and clients who want to scream at me when I tell them time and again— “Go rest. Do nothing!” Or, “Go outside, sit on the grass, get some sunshine, listen to the birds. Do nothing!” 😡
Let love lead. This is the day-to-day strategy thereafter. If you’re a fellow “Spirit Junkie” or “Course in Miracles” admirer, then you know and believe that everything resides in either love or fear. Our thoughts, beliefs, actions, etc. Letting Love Lead becomes another way of operating that both allows us to amplify our energy in every moment so that we can attract back to us all things that come from LOVE (i.e., all the good stuff!), AND serves as an easy way of letting go/releasing control in every moment, with the small stuff we sweat, and the bigger patterns we allow to keep us stuck.
A great example ensued just after Gabby’s live event as we were in the valet line to request our car. After a few minutes in line I noticed a woman standing to my right, walking alongside me in line. I noticed quickly that she was trying to skip the long line. I’m thinking to myself, “How can someone be so rude and skip the line after watching Gabby!?!?” My sassy Cuban blood started to boil a bit, and I said to my friend, “This one, here, is trying to skip the line!” Her response to me— “Let Love Lead!” Tushé! Of course. I laughed.
And here’s what’s important to remember…
These teachings seem so simple, BUT THEY ARE NOT. They take as much effort as over-working for hours and trying to control the outcome of everything. Except, the outcome of these energetic principles can change our lives for the better and can result in a beautiful co-creation with Spirit that doesn’t require us to lose ourselves and work so hard to receive all the goodness that is inherently ours, and that the divine wants to give us.
We are humans who live in a very human world, and healing our deep patterns and default tendencies takes moment-to-moment awareness, clearing our energetic field often, and a consistent practice in surrendering our sh!t, and trusting that spirit WILL handle it for our highest and best good.
Gabby’s talk was a reminder in the simple, yet not so simple work of someone who leads a spiritual life—a life that reminds us that we are children of God (however you define that), and we truly are not meant to suffer, but thrive in, with and through love.
Final parting words…
OUR ONLY JOB every day is to connect with our divine beautiful essence, gifts and passionate desires, and take those inspired small steps daily and move them forward with joy—knowing that when handed over to the divine, WHAT HAPPENS IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS! It will ALWAYS work out as it should, and be for our highest and best good.

Aho, beautiful Spirit Warrior!
